Homeless Guy Gives Travel Advice

Three years ago I was drunk outside a bar in Chicago and met a well-traveled homeless guy. We exchanged numbers and I still text him for travel advice. Christopher Crockpot Ever been to Madison, Wisconsin? Hell yea I have. Got pepper sprayed at a hot air balloon festival back in 1998. Took three cops to take me down. Absolutely beautiful this time of year.

A text post shows someone explaining that they still ask a well-traveled homeless man for travel advice. In the text-message exchange, the man claims to have visited Madison during a bizarre pepper-spraying incident at a hot-air-balloon festival, then gives the absurdly understated review, “Absolutely beautiful this time of year.” The meme is used as a reaction to strange, unreliable, or hilariously chaotic travel advice.
